Case description

The term AOMT has been used to describe the development of an acute otitis media in those patients who have a ventilation tube in place in the tympanic membrane. The significance of this situation is that topical non-ototoxic antibiotic eardrops can be used to treat bacterial infection instead of systemic antibiotics as the eardrops will pass through the ventilation tube into the middle ear.
